The Wonderful Thing About Disney Podcast

On our last trip to Disneyland, we found ourselves wanting to go visit a part of the park that is often skipped over despite it being right in front of your eyes the whole time: Tom Sawyer Island! The only way out there is by raft, but treasure and adventure awaits the eager explorer or scurvy pirate. How well do you know the history and surprises of this Disneyland gem?Check out our enchanting extras:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/WonderfulThingAboutDisney⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

On this Wonderful Wednesday, it's game day and we're playing "Start, Bench, Cut."

It's so common for guests in Disney Parks to focus only on the attractions or hurrying from reservations to Lightning Lanes that we fail to notice the details all around us. That's why we called on our friends Kevin and Amanda from Where In The Park. They are Disney scavenger hunting legends and even created their own game that you can play at amusement parks all over the country. This is the perfect way to experience and see the parks in a whole new way and have fun doing it!Check out the game here and use our code "WONDERFUL" at checkout for 10% off!Check out our enchanting extras:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/WonderfulThingAboutDisney

We just got back from a wonderful trip to Walt Disney World. If you know us, you know that we like to do something new every time we Disney, and on this trip, we might have done more "firsts" than any other trip before! We went to the water park, stayed at new resorts, meet friends from online for the first time in person, did a WDW party, tried a new challenge, and ate so many new foods... That's why we're officially calling this trip "The Trip of Firsts."Check out our enchanting extras:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/WonderfulThingAboutDisney

We had an idea... a wonderful idea. What if we attempted to visit every single Walt Disney World resort hotel in one day. But what if we upped the ante... and only used Disney transportation?? And what if we added some pin trading, matching shirts, a flag, and a couple friends as well??? Sounds like an amazing adventure just waiting to happen!Check out our enchanting extras:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/WonderfulThingAboutDisney

Dogs are some of the best creatures alive and Disney has given us some wonderful furry friends to cheer for. But which ones are the best of the good boys and girls??

For this week's episode, we asked our followers on Instagram to send us Disney topics that they wanted to learn something interesting about and the Dinglehoppers delivered! We took your suggested topics and went to work to find interesting facts and tidbits to share and we learned so much! We even phoned a friend, our buddy Sean at "Plants of Disneyland" to tell us all about the Disneyland rose!Be sure to follow Sean on Instagram at @Plants_of_Disneyland⁠!Check out our enchanting extras:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/WonderfulThingAboutDisney

As much as we love a feel good story, we also love the Disney villains! Honestly, who doesn't have a favorite villain that they secretly cheer for? Well, that's what this episode is all about which is why we called in our friend Ryan from Into the Dizneyverse, one of the biggest villain fans we know! Come along with us as we each share our Top 10 lists and try to justify why wishing a happily ever after for these meanies really isn't that bad... right?!Be sure to follow Into the Dizneyverse and join their free Discord!Check out our enchanting extras:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/WonderfulThingAboutDisney

One of the wonderful things about Disney parks is the food! We love food and we love snacking and sometimes... we go "a little" over budget. For this episode, that's not allowed! We gave ourselves a budget for each domestic park with the requirement of eating breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack. Can we do it for under $50 and $35 a day?? And if you think that's unhinged, head over to our Patreon for our After Hours Episode where we try to do the same thing for only $25!!!Check out our enchanting extras:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/WonderfulThingAboutDisney
